the idea of building a twin pipeline for that of the Trans Mountain pipe line. And the clear question for all Canadians especially in the lower main land of British Columbia is this proposition to twin the pipe line safe, economical for British Columbia, and reliable way to transport fossil fuel in the form of crude oil? Or is this just business as usual? We defiantly need to establish the safety behind this. But safety is not only for the people around the pipeline but for the impact the building
2.1 Introduction Pipeline is used to transfer fluids liquid or gas from one location to another location. Designing pipeline refers to Pipe Engineering. It is an application of petroleum, mechanical and chemical engineering basics, that deals with designing, testing, analysis, inspection and maintenance of pipeline. Industrially, all pipeline activities are achieved with the acquiescence and guidelines of international besides to industrial codes and standards as well as the laws, rules and assize
The Keystone XL Pipeline Imagine the world; not as how it is now, but as how people wish it could be. There is no pollution, everyone has a job, the world is at peace and a safe place to live, and most importantly, everyone is happy. This is but a mere dream. Now open your eyes. See the reality of what the world truly is: we are intentionally hurting the environment, many people in the world are unemployed, many different countries are at war and people are dying because if it. Worst of all, people
the production of natural gas, but rather purchases fossil fuel at the source and transmits supply thru its pipelines to industries and local costumers. Natural gas can be transported to distribution facilities in two ways: underground gas pipelines or shipped by the sea in LNG tankers. In nature during the extraction, natural gas exists as a gas, which needs to be captured by special pipeline system designed for gathering processes. Captured gas contains water and other impurities that have to be
Job To Have “Fwoosh” is the the sound oil and gas makes as is gets transported through pipelines through everywhere oil and natural gases are needed. Workers who pipeline say it's a great job with good salaries and opportunities . The best job for a pipeliner to be would be a pipeline engineer, they design the pipelines and choose their landscapes. Clearly a career of choice to consider is to be a pipeline engineer, but being a pipeliner isn't as easy as it sounds there's a lot of school and work
Introduction "Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up" (Belasco & Stayer, 1993). Is the concept of “too big to fail" an accurate term in today’s economy, or does it depend on a company’s ability to undergo change and reinvent itself? More than a decade ago, it seemed almost impossible that the seventh largest company in the Unites States, Enron, would decline so quickly. As change agent, I will analyze
Many people have no clue as to what types of water damage is covered under their home or business insurance policy. Homeowners and business owners are becoming confused, hearing about mold insurance claims getting denied, and lots of questions arise about water damage to their homes. This article will go on to explain what types of damage is covered by your home insurance or your business policy and what you should do if your house has damage. What Water Damage will your Home Insurance Policy cover
By now, many Americans have been made aware of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL. It has been seven years since the pipeline was first proposed by the TransCanada Corporation with the intent to “allow crude oil from Canadian oil sands to reach U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast” (Mantel par. 2 on Chronology timeline). Some Americans are in favor of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL and others are strongly opposed to it. On Feb. 17, 2013, thousands of protestors gathered at the
It was Thanksgiving Day, just after 7 O’clock when James sat down at the dinner table to answer some questions. The scent of apple pie and beer was still in the air James is about 6ft tall with dark skin. He has a full head with a white go tee. He was in a white tee with sweats wrapped up in a robe. James was the second oldest out of ten kids. It was his job to keep the household running efficiently. He has been working since he was fourteen years old. Every day after his mother would get home,
everything from transportation to food to drinking water. These two text are relevant to each other people because both issues have affected people's basic needs. Pipelines can contaminate water that leads to affecting the water, seafood, marine animals and First Nations' communities health.I can connect it to the history of built of pipelines when they do not construction crews don’t care whether they are in the way or not. When reading this passage it made me feel bother and infuriated when the water
possibilities include oil tankers, pipeline export or a combination. Since shuttle tanker transportation may not be in the presence of extreme sea ice conditions and a good alternative may be pipeline exportation. Pipeline may experience with high loadings that may be induced by ice gouging or scour, permafrost thaw settlement, strudel scour and upheaval buckling. Not only that, it may have to span uneven seabed features. Trenching to reasonable depth where the pipeline and surrounding soil can sustain
transportation system. This system is made up of five primary areas of transportation, which are: - Motor vehicles - Railroad transportation - Air transportation - Water transportation - Pipelines Each of these five modes consists of different subsystems which make up the system. Each mode is used to transport persons or goods, but in many instances, one mode may be favored over the others. All five modes require some primary source of funds for building and maintaining the infrastructure. These
In most ways people think that the pipeline industry is all for itself,and in its process it destroys the enviroment.In fact there are protests and riots happening often, to say the least.People also hop on the bandwagon saying that the industry should be protested for its safety hazards.In this paper I will explain how the industry takes every precaution to prevent environmental and personal harm and what they can actually do for you if the right of way runs through your land. When the right
such as bends, reducers, eccentric reducer, tool piece etc. Fabrication of piping, valves, fittings, sections of piping etc. should be thoroughly cleaned. All sand, dirt or other foreign matter should be removed. The ends of completed sections of pipeline must be closed with suitable blinds, caps or other approved methods. All fabricated piping should be protected against rust and corrosion. 10.2. Tolerances: In addition to tolerances contained within the applicable codes or standards of the
If you could make the decision whether the Keystone XL pipeline should be built, think about the impact it has on everyone; money, environment, animals, people. The Keystone XL pipeline is a crude oil pipeline that is an extension of the Keystone pipeline. It would run from Canada into the United States on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The pipeline would bring 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day to be refined in Texas. The Keystone XL pipeline should not be built because of the impact on the environment
The Keystone Pipeline started construction in 2008 for the main purpose of connecting Canadian and American oil refineries to transport crude oil from the oil sands of Canada faster and more efficient. So far the first three phases of the pipeline have been completed but the proposed and most controversial is Phase IV. It connects Hardisty, Alberta to Steele City, Oklahoma which requires a presidential permit and it also connects the 485-mile southern leg known as the Gulf Coast Project between Steele
reliance on foreign oil and has had some success, especially with the discovery of the Bakken formation and projects like the Keystone Pipeline. Projects like the Keystone Pipeline are important as they will allow us to transport more oil than we would be able to in train cars, and grants larger access to oil reserves in the United States and Canada. The Keystone Pipeline itself is an oil pipe line which runs from the western Canadian sedimentary basin in Alberta, Canada to refineries in the United States
Alberta, Canada proposed a plan for the installation and use of a pipeline that would stretch from Alberta, Canada to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast of Texas in the United States. The pipeline, titled the Keystone Pipeline, would be installed in four separate phases and once completed would transport up to 1.1 million barrels of synthetic crude oil per day. Phases two through four of the pipeline encompass the parts of the pipeline that would be installed in the United States and would be located
Access Pipeline.” This project is being built across 4 states the costs $3.7 billion to help change the U.S crude oil supply. Many people are talking about this topic many The Rock Sioux Tribe and Dakota Access,LLC. These two groups have two different sides and opinions of this topic. Ashley’s Intro: There is much controversy surrounding the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. First of all, what is it? It’s the Dakota Access, LLC, ongoing project to build a pipeline that will transport oil
concerning the different modes of transport, their characteristics and also the comparison of these modes with one another in an effort to establish the best mode of transport for specific commodities. The paper also takes into consideration the various factors affecting the transport sector; such as cost of transportation, flexibility, time factor and reliability. Transport refers to the process that enables physical movement of goods and people from on area to another. Transport is very important in the
